Chapter 281 Men Can’t Be Too Good-looking

Zhou Shuang happened to throw a beef meatball into her mouth when she answered the phone. She was frightened by Qian Ning's voice and didn't notice that the meatball burned her mouth.

“Woo—”

Qi Luoyan watched as Zhou Shuang, clearly scalded, still spit out the meatball gracefully, then gulped down a large mouthful of watermelon juice to stop the burning sensation in her mouth.

What Qian Ning heard on the other end of the phone sounded like Zhou Shuang crying, and it seemed very noisy around her.

"I know you're in a difficult situation right now. If you come back, I can still be your strongest support. Shuangshuang, Rongcheng is a place that can be big or small, and your problem can be big or small too."

After Zhou Shuang finally recovered, she finally heard Qian Ning's words clearly. To her, it was no different from a dog barking.

"Mr. Qian, could you please stop flattering yourself? Why do you think I can't live without you?"

There were more than ten zombie accounts in the blacklist. Zhou Shuang did not block Qian Ning this time. Instead, she patiently tried to persuade her. Zhou Shuang broke away from her inexplicable dependence on Qian Ning, only to find that she was now stupid.

Qian Ning sat on the sofa with one hand lazily resting on his back. Smoke shrouded him, and his peach blossom eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

"It's useless, Zhou Shuang. This is a world of power and desire. As long as I issue a cut-off order in the industry, you won't be able to find a job anywhere. Our Qian family—"

Qian Ning was halfway through his words when Qi Luoyan snatched Zhou Shuang's phone away.

"Who the hell are you, the Qian family? Zhou Shuang is working at my uncle's company now. Have you heard of Guyu Technology? It's under Qi Huaijing's umbrella. Come on over if you're capable."

The cigarette ash fell down, and the scarlet fingertips were blown too fast by the wind, directly burning Qian Ning's hand.

"grass--"

He cursed, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

The phone screen went black and the call was hung up again. Qian Ning didn't call again.

He took a sip of wine and the glass hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

No wonder Zhou Shuang never came to see her, it turned out that she had found someone to back her up.

Qi Family——

Oh--

It is indeed something that their family cannot handle.

Qian Ning's breath was trapped in his chest and he could hardly breathe. Over the years, the woman he held in his hands had never been lost. Only Zhou Shuang danced in front of him like a butterfly. He admired her and stopped for her.

The reason why he didn't make a move was because he regarded Zhou Shuang as his prey. Having seen countless people, he knew very well that Zhou Shuang was still a novice in love. Since she liked pure love, he would play along with her.

He deliberately followed her pace. He had plenty of time anyway. Love is all about feeling, atmosphere and romance. Qian Ning was like a cat playing with a mouse. Zhou Shuang needed company, so he would call her until three in the morning to coax her to sleep.

If Zhou Shuang wanted to see snow, he could pick her up by helicopter and take her to Switzerland for skiing. Qian Ning felt that a girl like Zhou Shuang, who had no family background, was a little pretty, liked romance, and seemed to have no sense of security, could be a change of pace for him.

After all, I usually immerse myself in the group of socialites or celebrities, feeling flattered. After too many days of this, I want to find someone fresh and have a different kind of love.

When he thought he was about to succeed, Zhou Shuang suddenly ran away.

However, it's not her fault. After all, he just met a hot third-tier starlet with a great body and good skills in bed. Qian Ning naturally wouldn't let go of the meat that was delivered to his door. After chewing on her for a while, he got tired of it and thought of Zhou Shuang again.

As a result, the person ran away.

Qi Family——

Haha, there are only two men in the Qi family who are worth mentioning. Qi Huaijing is said to be extremely abstinent, and the immature Qi Luohan is said to already have a girlfriend.

The person who just answered his call was a woman, so Zhou Shuang definitely had no relationship with the two men from the Qi family. That left Qi Luoyan as the only one left.

She is a notorious crazy girl in the circle. She is stupid and has been in the ivory tower for decades. Everyone believes her idiot. How long can she help Zhou Shuang?

Qian Ning called his assistant.

"Check how long Qi Luoyan and Zhou Shuang have known each other."

The assistant took the order and left. Qian Ning curled his lips.

Zhou Shuang is really simple, but he likes this kind of innocent little white rabbit. After being used to eating big fish and meat, who doesn't want to eat some porridge and side dishes? Qian Ning bets that within a week, he can make Zhou Shuang come back to him obediently.

Over there, Qi Luoyan returned the phone to Zhou Shuang.

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Didn't you break up with him? Why is he still calling and harassing you?"

Qi Luoyan is just a little bit naive, not stupid. People in their circle are well-known, and Qi Luoyan also knows Qian Ning.

"have no idea."

Zhou Shuang also vaguely knew that Qian Ning might have more than one girlfriend, but she had no feelings for any of them.

"Don't pay attention to this kind of person, he's a scumbag."

What Qi Luoyan despises most are the people in his circle.

Either he is a peacock, or he is pretentious or he is a playboy.

Anyway, there is a reason why I am still single.

Qi Luoyan hopes that her other half will be like her father, who is "faithful to her mother" and spoils her to the utmost. After decades of marriage, she only has her mother in her eyes.

The two of them ate and talked, and before they knew it, the pot was empty. Qi Luoyan and Zhou Shuang both felt very satisfied.

Zhou Shuang rarely eats spicy food, and her already beautiful lips became even redder and slightly swollen, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

Qi Luoyan paid the bill first, so Zhou Shuang gave up.

As soon as the two of them reached the door, Wang Yu arrived.

Her expression was still gentle and smiling. Qi Luoyan tilted her head to look at him. Wang Yu noticed it and smiled, "Miss Qi, what are you looking at?"

Qi Luoyan huffed, "Look at you, why are you laughing?"

Just smile at everyone, why did you keep a straight face when facing yourself before?

Wang Yu was slightly stunned. Zhou Shuang glanced at Wang Yu and Qi Luoyan, and felt that Qi Luoyan's reaction was a bit too much.

But the trick was soon discovered. There was something wrong with this girl Qi Luoyan.

Wang Yu said seriously, "Miss Qi, please forgive me if I have offended you. It's getting late, Miss Zhou, are you guys going back?"

Zhou Shuang glanced at Qi Luoyan. Qi Luoyan had a puffy face, which was in stark contrast to his mood when he was eating hot pot just now.

Moreover, it seemed that she was trying to embarrass Wang Yu. Judging from the thoughts of a little girl, Zhou Shuang judged that this girl might have fallen in love with her uncle's assistant, who was not worthy of her status as a young lady.

"snort."

Qi Luoyan ignored him. Wang Yu helped them open the car door, and Qi Luoyan and Zhou Shuang got in.

"You said you've rented a place. Where is it? Can you take me to see it?"

Qi Luoyan's temper came and went quickly, and his target immediately shifted to Zhou Shuang.

It’s not even nine o’clock in the evening and Rongcheng’s nightlife has just begun.

Zhou Shuang's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that it would not be a good idea if Qi Luoyan knew that she was living in Qi Huaijing's house.

It was nothing originally, but it became a big fuss.

Wang Yu secretly stepped on the accelerator. Zhou Shuang's phone rang again. She looked down and saw that it was still an unfamiliar number. She instinctively thought it was Qian Ning.

"This bastard is still haunting me. I just scolded him, and now he dares to hit me."

Qi Luoyan's attention was immediately diverted. It was the first time that Zhou Shuang felt grateful for Qian Ning's call.

After answering the call, a telemarketing advertisement appeared. Zhou Shuang listened to the other party talk about an insignificant painting and said calmly, "No need."

Then he hung up.

When talking about Qian Ning, Qi Luoyan started to talk.

She cursed all the way in the car, and when she remembered that she wanted to go to Zhou Shuang's rented house, Wang Yu's car had already parked at the gate of Qi's house.

Mrs. Qi became anxious when she still hadn't seen Qi Luoyan after nine o'clock, and she stood at the door waiting early.

I didn't dare to call to urge her, for fear that Qi Luoyan would be angry.

Mrs. Qi gave birth to this daughter after a life-threatening situation. Qi Luoyan was born with a difficult labor, and Mrs. Qi almost lost her life. Qi Luoyan also had to stay in an incubator for forty days before she survived.

Therefore, the Qi family couple especially doted on their daughter. They let her do whatever she wanted, and they couldn't bear to scold her even if she made a big mistake. The only one who could still say a few words to her was Qi Huaijing.

"Miss Qi, we're here."

Wang Yu stopped the car, and Qi Luoyan realized that they had arrived home.

“Shuangshuang——”

As soon as Qi Luoyan opened her mouth, Zhou Shuang immediately greeted Mrs. Qi through the lowered car window.

"aunt."

Then he looked at Qi Luoyan and said, "Luoyan, it's late and the weather is cold. You should go in with your aunt. We'll make an appointment next time."

Mrs. Qi was naturally very happy to see Qi Luoyan, and Zhou Shuang also got out of the car out of courtesy.

Mrs. Qi held her and Qi Luoyan's hands with heartache.

"Your hands aren't warm at all. Come in and have some tea before you leave."

Zhou Shuang said calmly: "No, I have to go to work tomorrow, let's wait for next time."

Mrs. Qi saw Wang Yu and understood.

"Yes, it's too late. Let Special Assistant Wang take you back early."

Qi Luoyan leaned against Mrs. Qi, with a look of reluctance and reluctance in her eyes.

"Hey, if I had known you'd find a house so quickly, I might as well have let you stay for two more days."

Zhou Shuang pursed her lips, feeling warm inside.

In the end, Qi Luoyan insisted on watching Zhou Shuang leave before she would enter the house.

Mrs. Qi chatted with Qi Luoyan as they walked.

"Did you call Wang Yu?"

Qi Luoyan rolled his eyes.

"He's my uncle's driver, how could I yell at him?"

Speaking of Wang Yuqi, Luo Yan felt uncomfortable. When she entered the room and smelled the fragrance of tea, she asked for some tea.

After eating hotpot, my stomach is bloated and a cup of tea is just right to help remove the greasiness.

Mrs. Qi had a faint smile on her lips. It was strange that Wang Yu could drive his uncle's car to pick up these two girls.

She was an experienced person and didn't think that her uncle was keeping a close eye on Zhou Shuang just for Qi Luoyan.

What makes the fearless uncle who followed his father-in-law into the business empire after completing his coming-of-age ceremony treat a girl as a formidable enemy?

"You, all you do is eat and drink. Luckily, your family still has some money, otherwise, what would you do?"

When Mrs. Qi saw Qi Luoyan, who had just eaten hot pot, arguing with tea and snacks again, she looked at her helplessly and dotingly.

Zhou Shuang sat in the car, looking at the night view outside the window. The heating in the car made her feel very comfortable. When she returned to Qi Huaijing's villa, she was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it anymore.

I originally wanted to draw or read a book, but after taking a shower and snuggling into the warm quilt, I read only two pages of the book when my eyelids started to droop and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Zhou Shuang was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of a sports car in the yard. She checked the time on her phone and it was already early morning.

My throat feels like it's on fire, probably from eating hot pot.

She thought Qi Huaijing had returned and was very thirsty, so she wanted to go downstairs to get some water to drink. However, she didn't want to meet that man, so she could only stay in bed and endure it.

Occasionally, she would stick her head out from under the quilt and listen to the noises downstairs. Only when she thought Qi Huaijing might have returned to his room would she tiptoe out.

All the lights in the villa were out, leaving only the corridor lights and the lanterns under the eaves swaying slightly in the wind and rain.

She hurried downstairs to get a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and still felt thirsty, so she had another glass.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

Zhou Shuang was just trying to return the same way without being noticed when the light above her head suddenly came on. Zhou Shuang's eyes were blinded by the sudden strong light and she instinctively lowered her eyes slightly, but a slender figure appeared through her fingers.

The man was standing at the winding staircase ten steps away from her, a hint of scarlet on his fingertips fading with the night wind.

The cold and indifferent expression almost overlapped with the shadow of Zhou Yanli who loved her the most in Zhou Shuang's mind more than ten years ago. She smelled a faint scent of patchouli, her eyes were slightly hot, and her throat seemed to be stuck.

"Drink some water and go to bed early. The weather is cold. Wear more clothes next time you go downstairs."

Qi Huaijing had no intention of coming over. He glanced at her lightly and went somewhere else.

Zhou Shuang quickly tightened her clothes and went upstairs with her head down.

After walking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back halfway. Qi Huaijing didn't go to the room, but went to the yard.

She thought of the cigarette in his hand, probably wanting to finish it before going to sleep.

After drinking the water, Zhou Shuang wanted to go to bed early, but she couldn't fall asleep.

I tossed and turned, and I don’t know why I always thought of Qi Huaijing standing at the stairs.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuang was finally called by Zhou Gong to play chess half an hour later, and it was already morning when she opened her eyes again.

She was the only one at breakfast. In the yard was the car that Wang Yu had brought her back yesterday, waiting to take her to the company.

"Boss Qi, aren't you going to the company today?"

She should have felt relaxed and happy that Qi Huaijing was not working with her, but for some reason she felt a little empty inside.

I asked casually.

"Well, Mr. Qi is not free these two days. He has to go to the cemetery to pay homage to Mr. and Mrs. Qi."

Zhou Shuang took a long time to realize that Qi Huaijing's parents had passed away, and today should be their death anniversary. That's why he stayed up so late last night, smoking in the middle of the night, and there seemed to be a faint smell of alcohol on his body. It turned out that he was sad.

"oh."

Zhou Shuang didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was someone else's private matter, and she didn't want to continue to explore it.

She had only known Qi Huaijing for a few days, and every time the man was cold and distant, he looked like he was keeping her at a distance.

Originally, Zhou Shuang should have had no feelings for him, but she couldn't help but turn her gaze towards him. As expected, men and women are the same, they can't be too good-looking.

When she arrived at the company, Zhou Shuang abandoned all her messy thoughts. She had been sitting at her workstation for less than ten minutes when her colleague came to find her.

"Shuangshuang, Vice President Chen wants to see you. He wants you to bring the original drawing and says there's a problem, so he wants you to come over."
